Bella Union have had a definite focus on Mancunians in 2015, first with the release of pop-centric BC Camplight’s comeback album a few months back and now the release of girl group Pins’ second LP.
The quartet doesn’t appear to have any qualms about flying the ‘rebel’ label but behind the middle-finger-reliant marketing strategy is a bundle of thoughtful surf and grunge-pop songs, reminiscent of great bands like Splendora, Hole (during the Malibu era) and even a bit of Magic Dirt. To the point and no-nonsense, the band never lose their sense of fun.
